Zionist Organization - Jewish Agency (Status) Law" (1952)
(view entire law); "Keren

Production and Marketing Board Law" (1959); "Peanut
Production and Marketing Board Law" (1959); "Egg
and Poultry Board (Production and Marketing) Law" (1963);
"Planning
and Building Law" (1965); "Fruit and Vegetables Products
Boards (Production and Export) Law" (1973); "Fruit
Board (Production and Marketing) Law" (1973); "Fruit
Board (Production and Marketing)(Regulation of Planting Fruit Orchards)
Regulations" (1975); "Flower Board (Export and Marketing)
Law" (1976); Budget Law (1981)). Please see above in the section
on how Israeli democracy is compromised, for details.
This category of discrimination is listed above because it compromises
Israeli democracy. But it also is listed here because it leads to
direct discrimination in both Israel and the Occupied Territories
because, for example, the agricultural boards control the agricultural
industries in both areas, and in the same way, as described above,
the Planning and Building Boards discriminate against Palestinian
land owners. The World Zionist Organization is a non-government
agency set up to help Jews only. No problem - all ethnic groups
and religions have self-help organizations, but in this case in
Israel this agency is given government level influence and powers,
which thus leads indirectly to government level discrimination.
The details of these laws that codify discriminatory non-government
Jewish organization involvement in these government agencies is
listed HERE.
